Hotel, guest house, and holiday let permits
These permits are for hotel, guest house, and holiday let owners to give to their overnight guests
Who can use the permit?
Hotel guest permits allow overnight guests to park in the controlled parking zone during their stay.
You should buy your permits in advance to issue to guests when required. Your application will need to be submitted with a letter on headed paper showing your hotel, guest house or holiday let address, the number of rooms and the number of permits you are applying for.
The permits are scratch cards, which your guests will need to validate to show the date of use and the vehicle registration. Full instructions are shown on the permits.
The use of hotel guest permits will be regularly monitored to make sure parking reflects compliance with these terms. Misuse may result is permits being withdrawn or further applications being rejected.

Guests with a valid permit can park within the correct zone for the permit in:
- permit holder only bays
- shared use (permit holders or time limited bays)
- shared use (permit holders or pay and display bays)
They are valid on the date that is scratched off and up to 10am the next day.
Having a permit does not guarantee a parking space and they are not valid in any other bay or in any off street car park.
Permits must be clearly displayed so that all the details can be read by a civil enforcement officer.
